Two-dimensional ordering of benzenethiol self-assembled monolayers guided by displacement of cyclohexanethiols on Au(111).
Although the adsorption of benzenethiols (BT) on Au(111) usually leads to the formation of disordered phases, we demonstrate here that the displacement of preadsorbed cyclohexanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au(111) by BT molecules can be a successful approach to obtain two-dimensional BT SAMs with long-range ordered domains.
